      @goosehd Thanks Goose! I’d be lying if I said I knew what Quadrant animals were even after googling it. I’d love to hear more about them. Yeah, the last 5 years I’ve been picking up tattoos from the different countries I visited. Like you said, they make great souvenirs. I still need to get one from Nepal …

            Photo of my arm and torso tattoos. This was taken back in 2009 when they were still fresh. Oh, and that's a pork pie hat, not a fedora 🤣

              @Oaktavia That's a lot of tattoos. How old are you at this time?

                @twin I was 20 or 21 years old I think at the time of that photo.

                      @Daniel-San The stomach has always made me tap after a few hours, certainly no shame! Also that is a beautiful piece!

                        Hard to get the whole thing into one pic. Thoughts on this new one?

                                While my sessions rarely start with the vision I originally had in mind, I’ve learned to fully surrender to the process. I trust his eye over my own expectations. As I always tell people: Polak gives you the tattoo you need, not just the one you wanted.

                                  I had a tattoo applied by a drunk Irish guy over 30 years ago. He was great...but inebriated... I put up with it for about twenty years. I've always said - if you're going to get a tattoo don't ever start regretting it. Anyway, about seven years ago I asked for a cover up job. You've always got to go bigger! ...and it is so addictive, the pleasure and pain 😂 Here's some of it in process.FB_IMG_1490125533769.jpg

                                      @EdH that will take a little searching... but yeah, it'll be somewhere. It was another snake and a bit of celtic work (a simple flash). I was 30, newly divorced and needed to do a bit more research! 😂
